The Wedding of Susa

[ncarr 2806]

 

ANNO  DOMINI  1874

 

——

 Under the watchful eye of King Frederick I the union of Sir Aleksandr Basrid, Count of Susa and Lady Sophie Pruvia has come to be. On the fourteenth day of the month of Sun’s Smile the pair were joined in a traditional Campagnois wedding- in the forest of Mardon, under the privacy of the Pruvian woods in which their sacred wedding rite is usually held -with dynasts from both families and the bride’s niece and nephew acting as a flower girl and ring bearer respectively.

 

The pair recited their nuptial vows under an arch of sacred hawthorn blooms, the wedlock overseen by the Cardinal Albarosa. The prepared rings were then bestowed to each of the two and the small gathering in attendance bestowed their excitement for the newlyweds.

 

The bride then spilled the Valerian powder from her chalice onto the floor, in accordance with Campagnois culture, allowing her new husband to lead her across and through the few pews of people gathered to view their sacred union. Henceforth, she shall never practice another of her customs again, for her efforts will be in the tradition of the rhenyari.

 

May god bless their union with fruit and joy.
